[MANILA] The emergence of COVID-19 and other diseases of animal origin such as Ebola, SARS and HIV indicates that disturbing forests can trigger pandemics, say the authors of a new study, highlighting megatrends shaping the future of forests.
While the exact origins of COVID-19 are yet to be determined, the virus has demonstrated the devastating social and economic significance of pandemics, and also highlighted a “crucial aspect of the linkages between human–forest relations and global change”, says the study published 30 November in
Nature Plants.
FAO’s State of the World’s Forests Report 2020 says that the majority of new infectious diseases are zoonotic and their emergence may be linked to changes in forest areas, as well as the expansion of human populations into forest areas.
